“Very good sushi with options for quality asian stir fry and more.”
“Extensive selection of Kosher Sushi Rolls (hot and cold) and Bowl styles, including Chirashi and Poke. Miso soup was salty, but the rolls did not disappoint. Very generous portions, to say the least. The fish was excellent, fresh and generous cut, and vegetables were fresh. Small seating area with a Sushi bar. Corner space. I had the "Kate," Roll and Mom had a Hamachi and Avocado Roll. Got to meet Kate as a bonus. They also have a Kosher Chinese selection. I could not believe how many to-go orders went out the door in the short time we were there.”
“the sushi in the photo (I don't really know all the names for sushi) was really good, but you know what's better? the sushi burrito (I'm so sorry, I don't know the names) was very filling, mostly because there's a lot of fish. The chairs are my only complaint, they're not bad, but not five stars good”
“Small. About four tables. Great deal to come for lunch. Ran out of meat and rice the night before so we couldn't get their beef and broccoli. Got four rolls and two miso soups for $40. Didn't like the dragonfly, but loved the redhead, ahava and salmon jalapeno. Dragonfly was just too hard and didn't stay as one piece with the chopsticks, ahava was the black rice which had a peanut taste. Ordered next day for the meat and got takeout. Got beef and broccoli and sesame chicken with fried rice. All were 5/5.”
“We like this place very much. The food is very good, fresh and the portions are plentiful for the money. The sushi is unique for a kosher sushi place, some nice combinations and flavors. The Chinese is an add-on from their original business plan and seems to be working well. Our family loves the Chinese food from here. For the visitor or traveler, they package well and they are fast. 10 min on most days/times to prepare your request. It’s a good call if you’re in town. Just be mindful of parking, which can be a challenge.”
“I am not a sushi fan but my wasband and our guest was. I had French fries. :). Our guest likes the sushi so much that he ordered another serving.”
“Not particularly friendly service. Poke bowl was very bland. Expensive for what you get.”
“Had late lunch there today, sweet & sour chicken was fantastic!!”
“We had takeout because we don't care for the ambiance so much. But the food was really delicious and the service first rate.”
“So responsive, helpful and amazing service Sushi is top top top”
“If you are looking for kosher sushi place - look no further! Only proper kosher fish is available (no eel, no shrimp, crab, etc.) There's a selection with cooked sushi, fake crab meat, and any sushi that is kosher that resembles what the real sushi is supposed to be. The place is small, staff is friendly, and are very kosher aware. The food is very decent if being kosher is the most important thing for you in a meal.”
